It's too bad those A250s (and there was another similar family member if I remember correctly) were discontinued and became impossible to find. I remember reading your threads about them years ago and always wanted to try them. They looked like the struck a good balance of things I wanted for a great price.

And from what I can see, that's a Beyerdynamics T1 box on the top shelf - another 1400$. With this, it's more like 5 k$.

Any way you look at it, it's far from an "humble" setup. The thing is, recently many people posted similar setups while referring to them as "humble". It seems as if anything short of a SR-009 setup is considered "humble", even if this includes owning a copy or two of everything short of a SR-009.

I agree..a humble setup is in my eyes under 750: an amp + headphones..but hey..we are on headfi.. There are other rules here.. My complete headphone rig is probably considered also a poor mans choice ( as in humble) being just under 3000 euros with cabling included.

Well my collection certainly starts to increase in value when I go by RRP. I thought he was being ironic.
